...true that no names are mentioned. But the writer of the faulty expression cannot conceal his embarrassment, when he hears his own blunders publicly laughed at. It is humiliating enough to hear one's own mistakes read before a class, but much more irritating is it to hear an instructor ridicule an unfortunate attempt to tell about the death of a brother.

The evident fairness of the settlement of the question about the method of starting cannot fail to commend it to every one. To start with the sterns of the shells even and to judge by the bows at the finish, would simply make our course about five feet shorter than Harvard's - we do not wonder that they objected. - [Record...
